How to make the world-famous Jiangnan fresh meat dumplings

When we were young, our mother was around and we thought cooking was easy. When we grew up and went out on our own, we found that cooking was really difficult. But eating out for a long time is really unhealthy. So, for yourself and your family, you should acquire cooking skills. Now let me teach you how to make the world-famous Jiangnan fresh meat dumplings.

1. Wash the bamboo leaves and soak them in cold water the night before. If you don’t know how to wrap them, you can boil the bamboo leaves. This will make the leaves softer and easier to wrap. Soak the glutinous rice in cold water the night before, drain the water before wrapping, add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and salt, mix well, and let it stand for two hours to make it color and taste good.

2. Cut the pork into 2-3 cm cubes, put them into a mixture of dark soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, chicken essence and salt, mix well with your hands, mix for 5-10 minutes until white foam appears on the surface of the pork cubes, indicating that the pork cubes are well seasoned. Put two pieces of lean meat and one piece of fat meat in each zongzi.

3. Hold two pieces of bamboo leaves in the middle to make a funnel shape, put a spoonful of rice, then two pieces of lean meat and a piece of fat meat (adding a piece of fat meat will make the taste smoother and more delicious, pure lean meat will taste dry)

4. Then cover it with rice, press it down with a spoon (this way the zongzi will be more solid and have a shape when cooked), then fold the bamboo leaves toward you, then to the right, and tie them up with a cotton rope. A zongzi is now wrapped.

Maybe you have never cooked your own food at home before. But after reading the introduction to the recipe of the world-famous Jiangnan Fresh Meat Zongzi, you will definitely be able to complete it on your own. The process may be a bit tedious, but the result is sure to be wonderful.
